Comment 28 for bug 277634

I have a similar problem on my Thinkpad X61-tablet with Intel 4965 hardware.
However, I get messages in /var/log/kern.0.log reporting "Microcode SW error"
within iwlagn. My only corrective action is reboot. Attempts to re-init the hardware short of reboot are not successful. (The hardware must need the power cycle to recover from the mu-code error.)

Tell me how, and I'll gladly activate software instrumentation.

I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty and Mint-7 (also a Jaunty derivative) with similar troubles.
My kernel is v2.6.26-18-generic and v2.6.26-11-generic respectively.
